Report – Robert Stagg – 24 Sep 1816
General Report Mich[ae]lm[a]s 1816
In the several districts of Alston moor, Teasdale & Weardale, there is no material alteration in the prospects of the various Mines, since the last Quarterly report, to which I therefore refer the Court, as the report of the present Quarter with respect to the views of the several trials.
We are proceeding to put the Mines in Alstonmoor into Repair & in pushing forward such of the Levels & drifts as are essential to the future advantag

Alston moor Report
Rampgill. The Ore Workings at this Mine are entirely confined to the old Pickings which are very poor, but the low Level driving by R Heatherington &c for the purpose of unwatering & opening it out below the old Workings, is expected to be in a part of the Vein that will raise Ore in a few Fathoms driving after which it may be hoped to raise Ore that will more than repay its further prosecution.
Rampgill Sun Vein. It is we expect, a part of this vein which we ha

I am this day favored with your Letter of the 24 inst, enclosing Bill for £106-17-7 Sterling, which is passed to your Credit. If I understand you correctly this sum balances the Sale of Lead which I consigned to you; if so, the produce is attended with so much loss, as to prevent me consigning at present, any further quantity. I therefore wait for your next Letter with the account Sales, in order that I may possess

State of Coalcleugh Leadmines Sept. 30th 1816
Coalcleugh Mines etc continued very poor and nothing new has been discovered since last bargains, from the appearance of the present workings I am of opinion that a great part of the present bargains let at the reduced price of 30/- will not admit the workmen to exceed from 6/ to 9/ pWeek earning, and those in the best situations not more than from 9/ to 12/ pWeek without some unforeseen circumstance occur which is frequently t

Allenheads. Oct 5/1816
Michaelmas Bargains
Allenheads Mines are much the same as stated in the last report, and upon the whole likely to produce more Ore the ensuing quarter, the Old Workings I think are better - the cross Vein at the East end is wrought by 4 Men @ 28/ pBg, and has every appearance of continuing productive, after the water level gets up (which I suspect will be in the course of six months) the Vein will then be wrought to greater advant

Coalcleugh Bargains
The Mines at Coalcleugh are extremely poor & nearly the whole of the Ore Workings require considerably more price pBing (if the value of Lead would admit of it) to make the Workmen a sufficient maintenance than is now given as there is nothing of consequence at Coalcleugh but Workings that have been wrought for a series of years & of course they got much exhausted & require a greater price; the earnings are now & will be the ensuing quarter ve
Report – William Crawhall to Martin Morrison – 1 Jan 1817
Allenheads Leadmines are much the same as last quarter, except (for) 2 or 3 of the best Workings, which are fast working out & get considerably poorer. –
The Cross Vein at the East End is wrought by 4 Men @ 2<9>/pBg. I think the prospect better in this Vein than last quart. If the Vein was unwatered and a better communication for Air which I expect to be able to accomplish in the course of a few months, which will enable me to employ more Workmen & expose the whole
